How it works

Home or away, it starts itself.

A standby generator sits outside like a central air conditioning unit and runs on natural gas or propane. When utility power fails, it does the rest.

Protected loads

Systems are sized two ways: managed whole-house coverage with a smaller generator and load-shed devices, or complete whole-house coverage with a larger generator and a proper transfer switch. We recommend one at the assessment. Either way, this is what stays on.

In stock this week.

Most dealers order your unit after you sign. We stock ours in Van Nuys, so when a wind season hits we install from inventory instead of putting you on a waiting list. Counts are updated by the office. Call to hold a unit.
